You don't have to blow up. Such comments aren't personal. They are societal and based on generalizations. Particularly when we look at the connection between over 50% single parenthood in a certain community and the disproportionately high rates of poverty in these communities (based on the feminization of poverty and the fact that the largest percentage of people in poverty are children).

If your family doesn't fit the generalization, good for your family but that doesn't negate the millions of families that it does pertain to.
